Around every corner, in La Candelaria, you will discover something magical.
We're flying high above the incredible country of Colombia. My Avianca flight touches down in La Candelaria in Bogota. Come along with me let's roam Colombia.
You've got people selling drinks, kids running with the pigeons, mammals walking around, and this beautiful back of the Cathedral.
And you've got to take a lunch break to try the most popular dish in this Colombian capital city: Ajiaco, a hearty soup typically made with chicken, potatoes, corn, and herbs, with an average temperature of 58 degrees, soups are always on the menu in Bogota.
Sunday in Bogota is a day of rest and relaxation and the best place to do it is La Candelaria, the oldest neighborhood in Bogota, built-in 1580, and it's a perfect blend of history and charm.
All of the handicrafts are worth a visit and the churches.
La Candelaria has everything that I love, narrow cobblestone streets, colorful cafes, and lots of peaceful squares. One of my favorites is Plaza del Chorro de Quevedo, smaller than the main Plaza de Bolivar and teaming with street art.
This shop owner and his mother have lived on this block for decades offering modest local food and friendly chit-chat to passers-by like me.
This is Plaza de Bolivar. Every square you visit around the world has its own character and Plaza de Bolivar is full of little moments.
